I installed some GIK traps earlier this year and have been very happy with the results. Well, I'm in the process of moving into another place this week, and tonight I took all 16 pieces over to the new place. Well, I sat down to watch some tv (sound over my 5.1 system) a few minutes ago and WOW what a difference! As dramatic as it was to install the traps, being without them all of a sudden is even more dramatic!

Not that I needed any more convincing, but there's no way I'll ever have a listening room without treatments again. They make a HUGE difference.

GIK rules   The new room is approx 16x30, so it's going to be time to play around with some diffusion panels pretty soon. I think Bryan told me before that the room I've been in over the past couple years was too small to really benefit from them, so I'm excited to have a good reason to buy more GIK stuff lol.

Actually, if Bryan or Glenn happen to read this, can you guys make that pedestal thing a bit taller as a custom order? I was looking at other pedestal stands to put my projector on, then I realized you guys made one. I don't see any dimensions on the GIK site, so figured I'd ask here. I would need it about 4' tall...is that possible?

      Hey there!  I agree that acoustical treatment is necessary for a complete solution to awesome sound.  I think you do need diffusion to achieve your goals.  Please check me out, and I wish the best for all on audiocircle.  Performance is everything!  In my long history of studio integration, I will point out that I learned back in the 70's that absorption is not the whole solution.  Studios that used all absorption found that sucking the life out of the room was not the best approach.  The high end studios and concert halls have found this out too, and the new frontier is using diffusion in new ways.  I embrace this, and have kept the love of music and sound, as opposed to strictly "ease of shipping" or any other compromise  at the core of my efforts. This is the guiding principle behind my company.......

Allen, I sure will, thanks!

Which product are you referring to, the Pillar?  If so, while we can make it taller, shipping it gets very expensive once you have to ship via truck freight instead of FedEx/UPS/etc. 

In that new room, you'll definitely have the space to include some diffusion in the space.  Let me know what's up and I'll be happy to work with you on figuring out what's the best way to proceed.

Bryan:

Shipping isn't a problem since I live in Atlanta   What are the dimensions of the stock pillar?

The shape of the newer room is a bit odd in some places, so once I figure out where to put all my bass traps, I'll definitely start seeking some help with diffusion.

Sweet...  The stock pillar is 16" square x 48" tall.  I'll try to scrounge up a pic of our new wood diffuser and post it.

Oh okay, I think the stock height will be fine then...I think I may need to go pick one up soon

Definitely would love to see the new diffusor pic!
